What Is French Avenue Aether Extrait a Dupe Of?

What is Aether Extrait a dupe of?

Parfums de Marly Greenley is the usual comparison for French Avenue Aether Extrait. If the green apple and woody direction is what interests you, Aether is worth trying alongside it.

The useful question is how close Aether gets to the parts of Greenley you enjoy. You might love the apple opening, or prefer the woodier stage after the fruit settles. Those preferences can change which version you'd rather own.

Why people compare it with Greenley

Parfums de Marly's current Greenley page lists bergamot, mandarin and green apple at the top, petitgrain in the middle, then ambrox, amberwood and cedarwood. Fruit and citrus leading into wood is the main idea to keep in mind.

When comparing samples, give the green apple opening and the woody drydown their own attention. Do you enjoy the fruit just as much once the citrus settles? If Greenley is already a favorite, keep track of the part you would miss most in another fragrance.

I'd smell them at the start and again later, rather than deciding from the first spray. Notice whether the apple feels sweet or sharp to you, and whether you like the woody part once the opening has faded. A difference that bothers one person might be the part you enjoy most.

Would I choose Aether instead?

If you like this style and want to spend less, I'd compare a current Aether offer with Greenley before making the call. A smaller bottle or sample can be the better first purchase when you haven't worn either fragrance.

I wouldn't choose on the word “Extrait” alone. Check the retailer's full listing and bottle label, then judge the fragrance on how it smells and wears for you. The name doesn't establish how its performance compares with Greenley.
